I have the Humax HD HDR-1000s Freesat+ box. The problem I am having, is the HDMI lead? It works perfect when I go direct to TV.
The problem I have is the telly only has one input HDMI. I need to plug my surround sound DVD player in. SO I bought a HDMI switcher
Plugged both in. Turned on the Freesat box I got a picture but NO sound? Tried the DVD player and it works picture and sound. I even took the switcher around Sister’s and tried it there and it worked perfect. The question I am asking? Is there any settings on the Humax box that will stop the sound working on the switcher?
or, do I have keep taking the HDMI lead out of telly, whenever I need to watch a DVD?
Many Thanks
You get no sound from what? From the sound system (understandable) or from the TV (puzzling unless you have the volume on that turned down)?
Hi,
I have had simmilar problems try the following:-
make sure the hdmi switchbox is active and Humax is switched on first then TV last– worked for me.
If the hdmi lead from Humax to the switch is a different one and is longer it can cause loading issues.— use shortest possible.
Humax may not be properly receiving handshake from the TV that the sound channel can be sent via the switch. In one case this was a sharp tv not complying to the hdmi spec and another instance the firmware in the hdmi switch was faulty. I changed to a Gefen switch and this seems far more robust.

No sound from the humax box through the switcher only.

No sound from the humax box through the switcher only.
Is it a switcher or a splitter ?.
@mark191968
When I switch my 1000S on, my Sony TV flashes up an error message that I have never seen before with any other connected device. It says “Unsupported audio signal, check your device output”. The first time I saw this I thought “Oh s**t!”, but as soon as it had booted the message disappeared & audio came through fine.
So I reckon there’s something going on a bit strange at boot up time & that’s probably what’s upsetting your switcher.
Try switching your switcher on after your 1000S is up & running, or even connecting the hdmi cable after both are up & running.
Thank you. will try what you have said.
